….and then you die.
This is probably going to be the strangest thread I’ve ever posted. I apologise if people find this upsetting. I’ve mentioned before that I have some serious health problems – however…..
I was rushed to hospital last Monday morning unable to breathe – heart pounding, tingling all over, feeling feint – taken straight to the resus ward and had lots of tests and scans done.
Turns out I have multiple pulmonary embolisms (lots of blood clots in both lungs) blocking almost all oxygen absorption – but they are a secondary effect of the cancer that has silently spread all around my body.
I'm afraid that it's 'Game Over!'
I may or may not post here again – my priorities have been somewhat rearranged for me - but if I’m ever up in the middle of the night with some time to spare, you’ll see me smiling over the forum again for as long as I’m around.
I have a difficult journey ahead of me and, no matter how many friends and family are beside me, I will be walking this path very much alone.
As Roy Batty said:
“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
